Marsaxlokk

Marsaxlokk Harbour
Marsaxlokk is a tiny fishermen's nest in the south of Malta. It must be nice when the fish market is held here every morning. I only have been there around midday, as it's quite a bus tour from the north of Malta. So the fishes were all sold for that day, what was left were the many tourist stands selling needleworks. Not my kind of market.....
What was quite nice of coming around midday was, that the tourist buses had left again and we nearly had the promenade for ourselves.

They watch over you

It's well known for the many beautiful painted Luzzus that are stationed in the harbour. The Osiris eyes are watching you wherever you go. They shall defend the boats against the devils, which rule the seas....

Luzzus are watching you!

An absolute must is to sit down in one of the fish restaurants around the harbour. Enjoy the views while you taste the delicious fresh fish!

Took a lot of pictures in this picturesque harbour and they are all in the travelogues if you like to see more ships Luzzu pics....

In A Nutshell:"If you like fish, go there!!!"

 I love Marsaxlokk. I could sit at a harbour cafe all day.
